I just know the strap is purple, veiny, bulky, has a lil curve, and drags on the floor when she walks

the amount of people who have been posting about tlou this week is insane. we’re only 2 days into the global strike (2/18-2/24) and already there are people posting fanfics?? this is a week we should use to boycott, protest, call our reps, sign petitions, etc. the literal BARE MINIMUM is to stay off of social media and/or refrain from posting about anything other than palestine. and you can’t even do that? you’re so obsessed with getting notes and followers that you can’t avoid posting fanfiction for one week???

especially about a game made by a zionist. it’s so incredibly easy to not reblog/post about anything other than the genocide. instead of posting fanfics this week, USE YOUR PLATFORM, EDUCATE YOURSELF, SIGN AND SHARE PETITIONS, BOYCOTT ZIONIST COMPANIES. it will cost you nothing.

another reminder that neil druckkman is a massive fucking zionist. boycott tlou, remastered, season 2 of the show, any tlou games and merchandise, etc

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

brief blog intro!!

i’m emm and i’m fifteen, so i’d prefer mutuals to be 13-17 :)

i’m a lesbian and i love music, art, tlou, and reading

my favorite artists are boygenius, lana del rey, taylor swift, gracie abrams, olivia rodrigo, reneé rapp, ethel cain, chappell roan, adrianne lenker, and muna :)

listing all of my favorite books would take far too long, but i love percy jackson, harry potter, and the standard girlblogger reads

dni zionists, racists, homophobes, ableists, and generally bad people lol

my pinterest is @iusedtolightyouup !!

is it that hard to not spend your money on a shitty remaster of a game you already own??

is it that hard to not watch (or literally just pirate) a MID show?????

or are you just a bad person???

i've been meaning to get the tlou games ever since i bought a ps5, and thank GOD i didn't

neil druckkmann, the literal president of naughty dog, is an avid zionist. so no thank u ew i'm gonna stick to watching ellie edits on tiktok

reminder that boycotting WORKS and IS IMPORTANT. if you can't even do the bare minimum of not fucking drinking starbucks on a daily basis or paying disney every month for ur disney+, genuinely fuck you.

PALESTINE LINKS

in honor of the media blackout this week, i wanted to compile a list of links and resources regarding what’s going on in gaza. i advise all of you to give these links a look at, or to at least reblog them. the people in gaza need the bare minimum from us in that sense. &, well, if you can’t take enough time out of your day to give these links at least a look, a like, or share, then, bye !

& for all the the last of us fans out there, you need to see this. it’s genuinely a must. not to call anyone out, but i see a lot of people who have not spoken out about this at all, who, for example, keep publishing or reblogging fics etc during the blackout. i love a good fic as much as anyone else, but you can wait a week. there’s really no excuses here. if you didn’t know about the previous blackout, then now is your chance. don’t turn a blind eye to this.

at the end of this post are links specifically for those engaged in the last of us tumblr. if you aren’t going to look at the links before that, then at least look at those.

oh, & for the dumbasses who are unfollowing me for spending a week to post about a fucking genocide? fuck you, & good fucking riddance. you are not and never were welcome on my page. i don’t want you here anyways!

FOR THE LAST OF US FANS

do not remain in the dark about the last of us’s link to the ongoing conflict in gaza. neil druckmann, the director of the game, is a ZIONIST. he grew up in israel, and TLOU2 is rooted in israeli themes. now, no one is saying you have to quit playing the game, or dislike it, for all you dense ones out there. but i ask that you remain aware of this aspect of it, especially if you are regularly engaged in the last of us tumblr.

this is a link that i highly, highly recommend you read through. it discusses the HEAVILY ISRAELI THEMES TLOU2 displays. click the following link to learn more on TLOU2 & NEIL DRUCKMANN.

DO NOT BUY TLOU, TLOU REMASTERED, TLOU2, TLOU2 REMASTERED, OR ANY GAME FROM ND! neil druckmann has donated money to the IDF in the past. & where do you think he’s getting his money from? yeah, you got that. watch gameplays, pirate these games, or buy them secondhand. several shops sell used games. & for those of you who went and purchased the game anyway, knowing about all of this? fuck you.

if you think your $10 doesn’t matter, then think about this: okay, one person spends $10 on the game. whatever. but when 100,000 people do it? that’s a million dollars, going into the hands of a zionist, who is using YOUR money to help kill innocent men, women, and children. put that in your pipe and smoke it.

it is not just the games you need to boycott. HBO’S show also needs to be. follow this link to learn of more movies and shows you need to boycott, & the reasons why, including the last of us. let’s also not forget that dina & abby’s actresses are in support of israel, and BELLA RAMSEY, ellie’s actress, has also shown support.

boycott. the fucking. show. there are a million websites where you can pirate it, so you are not giving any of your support to it. resist.

i understand that not everyone is educated on this subject, and that not everyone knew of the previous media blackout. for the last of us fans, i understand that not everyone knew about the game or show’s israeli nature. but it is never too late to take part. it is never too late to care. i promise you that. if you purchased the game, at least donate to one of the sources above. that’s just bare minimum.

get educated, get loud, & GET PROUD! these are innocent people who are dying as you read this from your bed, couch, whatever. the least you can do is like & reblog so this reaches more people. your voice matters, big account or small.

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE 🇵🇸🍉

just a reminder yall that buying the tlou 2 remaster is supporting neil, which is supporting israel and its genocide against palestinians!

i love the tlou world as much as anyone else, but financially diverting away from anyone/thing/company supporting israel is one of the simplest and easiest ways palestinians have asked us to help. i hope we all consider boycotting the remaster and pirating s2

it’s so important that people stand up for palestinians and the genocide that they’ve been experiencing for multiple months now, and i’ve been doing so in any way i can since october. boycotting, reblogging posts, familiarizing myself with what’s going on, etc.

that being said, i js wna know.. what’s a week long strike of not posting tlou fics gonna do? i’m not at all against the idea, i’m genuinely asking, because first and foremost, it’s looking like not a lot of people knew about it. neil is not profiting off of the fanfiction YOU write. i feel like if anything, people should be boycotting the game (including the remaster), merch, etc. anything that puts money into the pockets of neil drukman. i bet tons of people bought the remaster, (whether or not you did is between you and god i guess.) the genocide began in october. the remaster came out in january.. that was last month. i’m sure plenty of you knew of the genocide, but now it’s boycott tlou?? with the remaster sitting in your ps5 library??????? 😭 i’ve seen people talking about how neil’s a zionist in the ellie tag, so it’s no way some of y’all didn’t know.

after this, y’all are gonna go back to posting tlou content, which is fine, but it makes me wonder what the goal truly is here. is it just a single week dedicated to spreading awareness? because you should be doing that just as much either way. realistically, if you were striking the “right” way, you’d stop posting fics/tlou content until the genocide is 100% resolved. if you had been constantly spreading awareness about what’s happening in palestine in the first place just as much as you are now, the exact same way you are now, while simultaneously posting fics or whatever the hell else, would you REALLY need a week? again, genuinely asking. and before you get mad, let’s really think about it. advocate for palestine the right way.

sorry sorry one more post but why did i see not one but multiple posts. saying they're leaving the stranger things fandom because of all the zionists. and will now focus on other fandoms such as the last of us. bestie. girlie. pal. have i got some bad news for you about neil druckmann.

Don’t look away.

about to say something a bit controversial depending on who gets to this lil brain vomit first 🙈🙈 however, i jus think there's something intriguing about the last of us writing fandom on this site, particularly in light of the last of us II most recent game. we are aware that the creator of the last of us is a zionist, and that his interactions with palestinians during his time as an Israeli fueled his hatred for them all, which is evident in ellie as she pursues those responsible for joel's death. i mention that merely to put things in perspective—as of right now, we are living through a genocide. i should add that this genocide really got underway in october and hasn't stopped on its course of murderous tyranny since. how does this tie with the fandom of the last of us? i have learned that the writers have chosen to go on strike as of recently. i hardly read ellie fics as much; instead, i just write what people ask me to write. the phrase "there is a genocide happening right now" is used a lot in these posts on the strike, and while it is true that a genocide is happening right now, it has been going for a period of time. i just find this arrogant. before the news of the tlou creator's zionist affiliation spread out through the media, individuals had no trouble writing for the game, editing it, or posting about it. even though it was widely known last month that the author is a zionist, individuals still seemed to feel safe talking about it. however, this month, as more attention has been focused on it, it appears that people want to take action. honestly, it seems like until palestine's relationship with the game was directly impacted, a strike or any awareness of the issue would never take place. additionally, compared to more mainstream media, tumblr's fanfic writing section is far more independent, thus this boycott has no effect—and boycotts are meant to have an impact. on top of that, this boycott is only going to last for one week, which makes it so forgettable and ultimately ineffective in raising awareness. moreover, i noticed that most people kept writing for ellie for at least a few days leading up to the start of the boycott date, at which point they abruptly started posting about palestine and people who were following the strike, all the while continuing to reblog tlou2 remastered ellie content, such as her new costumes. it just seems performative and lacks structure to actually do something meaningful to the injustices happening right now.

anyways, keep in mind to post about palestine, refrain from purchasing the remastered version of the last of us II to line the coffers of that zionist, and refrain from streaming the upcoming season of the live action show when it premieres (unless illegally…)

and don’t twist my words! i do support this strike and think it is a nice form for writers to play their part so with that being said we should not be posting anything until it is over. however… i have to acknowledge the hypocrisy/flaws that comes with it. i know my moot/friend @ashsostrange said something about this but i just wanted to bring my own thoughts especially as a writer.

KEEP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE.

Israel's goal right now is to kill and torture as many Palestinians as they can because they have a deadline. THEY KNOW THAT WE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND THAT WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO STOP THEM.

WE HAVE TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE. WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TALKING ABOUT THEIR GENOCIDE. WE HAVE TO CONTINUE BOYCOTTING. WE HAVE TO SUPPORT AS MANY PRO-PALESTINE ORGANIZATIONS AS POSSIBLE.

WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR PALESTINE NOW MORE THAN EVER.

Yall are gonna have to let "the last of us" go.

If you're interested in just how involved drukmann is, from wikipedia: "Druckmann co-led the development of The Last of Us (2013) as writer and creative director, roles he continued for The Last of Us: Left Behind (2014) and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (2016), co-writing the latter with Scherr. All three games were directed by Bruce Straley, with whom Druckmann developed a close working relationship. Druckmann and Craig Mazin are the creators, writers, and executive producers for the television adaptation of The Last of Us, for which Druckmann directed the second episode."
